Peppermint Hot Chocolate

 

Aren't you so in love with winter? I like to curl up by a hot fire, wrap my hands around a cup of something hot (like peppermint hot chocolate, ahh), and read a good book, regardless of whether or not there is snow.

 

Ingredients

 

1 1/2 cups coconut milk powder

2/3 cup cocoa powder

2/3 cup sucanat/unrefined sugar

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup coconut butter grated (optional)

1/4 cup candy canes crushed

1 tsp peppermint extract/ 10 drops peppermint essential oil*

1/4 tsp unrefined salt

 

Whisk together the powder of the chocolate milk, cocoa powder, sugar or salt.

Add the essential oil or peppermint extract.

Insert mini chocolate chips, candy canes, and cocoa butter.

Rock until mixed thoroughly.

Add 3 teaspoons to the cup, add 8 oz. of hot water. Remove to blend.

Whipped cream and marshmallows if needed.
